Will it hurt incredibly? Yes.
Will it be oh so worth it? You betcha.
The worst part about TABATA workouts is they are ever so deceiving. After the first round you mind gets the best of you and you think "This shit is easy peasy!" Then at the drop of a hat and half way through round two, your arms will want to fall off. By the fifth round...well, let's just say I hated my trainer and wanted to punch him in the face if my arms were functioning whatsoever. (Good thing I won't be present for you to take your anger out on! Ha!)
Oh, then it gets wayyyy better. You have a whole other round of exercises!! All at once now, Yayyyyyy...
Smile, you love me!
So friends, if any of you are brave enough to attempt this, I promise you won't be sorry...That is once the pain subsides and you realize you got some hella rock solid muscles!!
Veronica, I fully expect you are one of the brave souls since you got down and dirtay with my Lean Mean Strong Leg Routine :)
